 *
 *   This file implements the height field shape primitive.  The shape is
 *   implemented as a collection of triangles which are calculated as
 *   needed.  The basic intersection routine first computes the rays
 *   intersection with the box marking the limits of the shape, then
 *   follows the line from one intersection point to the other, testing the
 *   two triangles which form the pixel for an intersection with the ray at
 *   each step.
 *
 *   height field added by Doug Muir with lots of advice and support
 *   from David Buck and Drew Wells.
 *

*
*   Feb 1995 : Creation.
*
*   Aug 1996 : Fixed bug as reported by Dean M. Phillips:
*              "I found a bug in the height field code which resulted
*              in "Illegal grid value in dda_traversal()." messages
*              along with dark vertical lines in the height fields.
*              This turned out to be caused by overlooking the units in
*              which some boundary tests in two different places were
*              made. It was easy to fix.
